This Acticle shows the striking similarities of Name, Fame, Gods, Demi-Gods, and
the name of places and persons that are more commonly Indian and Hindu names.
The phonetic accent of these are quite astonishingly the same as that of Indian
habitats. Now, consider the Vedic Era stories that leads to the global search of
persons, origin, migration points and of course, the present day similarities.
Oh, this considers the Gotra or the origin of a person, route, race and even
Lord Krishna's Gotram! Interestingly, many of the new-found names of present
days are, actually listed in the Vedic Scripts. A few names are just gotten
changed or spelt in different, but accent and phonetic sound of persons name
and city/country names are similar to that one of Vedic days.

I was thinking this essay will be nice for your website. The migrations of
nations and ultimately the origins of human race are described. It was written
by Pandit Sastri Gauranga Premananda das.

I hope you are well

Everyone wonders or will wonder
at some time "What is the origin of different peoples and how did I get
here?"

According to Darwinists, the
ancestors of modern humans migrated out of Africa and colonized Asia and
Europe. When North of Europe and Asia became ice free the Caucasus region was
the route used. Immediately to the south of the Caucasus, the Euphrates and
the Tigris have their sources. According to Jews, Moslems and Christians this
is where the garden of Eden was located and is the homeland of Abraham. Mount
Ararat in the South Caucasus was the mountain where Noah's ark landed. This is
the supposed homeland fatherland of the Indo-European Caucasians.

The Vedic scriptures give a
similar account as far as the Caucasian ranges being a stage for the
development of the human being. The Aitareya Upanisad says: "He
(the atma) was thinking: "Shall I create the worlds?" and He created
the worlds." After being empowered by the mantra from the flute of
Paramatma (the higher Self, Krishna) Brahma created the world. After each
night of Brahma (that is 1000 maha-yuga's or 1000 x 4,320,000 = 4.32 billion
years) there is another cycle of creation. Brahma was empowered by the mantra
OM at the beginning of creation, later it was the mantra - klim krishnaya
govindaya gopijanavallabaya svaha.

Sri Krishna, the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, the cause of all causes, has His eternal part Sri
Balarama (and also Srimati Radharani). Sri Balarama's part is Sri Narayana (Srimati
Radharani's parts are the Laksmi's, the goddesses of fortune). A part of
Sri Narayana is Sri Maha-Sankarsana. All these personalities of God have their
pastimes in the spiritual world. From Sri Maha-Sankarasana comes Maha-Visnu.
This universe is the durga, the prison.

155 521 971 221 102 (about 155
million millions) years ago Maha-Visnu created the walls and the elements, the
building blocks of the universe. 1,971,221,102 (about 2 billion) years ago
Brahma and the other demigods created the planets and so on. Theu do this
every 4.32 million years. One of Brahma's sons was Marici. His son was Kasyapa
Muni. 120 million years ago Kasyapa Muni became the father of the Indo-europeans.
Some of these Indo-europeans migrated to the west and some east. Kasyapa Muni
himself meditated near the Caspian Sea, which is named after him.

Vivasvan, the sungod was the son
of Kasyapa Muni and his wife Aditi, Sri Ramacandra was born in Vivasvans
surya-vamsa (= the generation of the progenitor Surya, the sun god). There are
still small groups of worshippers of the sun god scattered around the world.
Daitya's ( = from Diti), or demons were the progeny of Kasyapa Muni and Diti.
They spread themselves over Europe. The names 'Titans' and 'Teutons', 'Dutch'
and 'Deutschland' were later given and derived from the word daitya. According
to the Indian historian Purushottam Nagesh Oak.

Atri is another of Brahma's sons.
Atri's son was Soma or Candra (the demigod who governs the moon). Candra's son
was Budha (not the one from the Buddhists), the king of the planet Mercury.
one of Buddha's sons was Pururava. Then the descent goes through Ayu, then
Nahusa and then Yayati. Yayati had five sons: Yadu gave rise to the Yadu-dynasty,
in which Krishna and Balarama appeared; Puru gave rise to the Puru-dynasty in
which Bhisma, Dhrtarastra, Arjuna, Yudhisthira, Bhima, Duryodhana and Maharaja
Pariksit were born. Puru received the land of Egypt. Puru's son was Pravira.
His son was Manasyu (yu = the uniter) also called Menes, who according to
Western historians founded Egypt's first dynasty. The name Paurava's, Puru's
descendants later degenerated to Pharaoh's. Yadu and the other sons of Yayati
were subordinate to Puru. Eventually, the Yadu clans who had settled in Egypt
left Egypt where they were persecuted. Out of this clan came the Jews.

Egypt is named after Ajapati, the
son of the Aja clan. Aja was the grandfather of Lord Sri Ramacandra.
Ramacandra is an expansion of Lord Sri Krishna. Sri Ramacandra appeared in the
Surya-vamsa (family) of Vivasvan and Vivasvata Manu. Another name for
Suryadeva is Ravi. Ra became the highest God, the father of this branch of the
Surya-vamsa in Egypt. Their kings were Ramses, for them Rama-isa (Rama, the
Lord) was God. Siva or (Maha)-isvara, the controller of the material world
became Osiris.

For materialists Isa or isvara
means Mahesa or Mahesvara, Siva. Lord Siva is Mahadeva, the highest amongst
the controllers (deva's) of the material world. He brings the souls to the
material energy at the creation and on the command of Maha-Visnu. Siva is
worshipped for material gain. Krishna the highest amongst the Lord's of the
spiritual world is sarvesa, the Lord of all; Paramesvara, the Supreme isvara;
and Adi-isvara, the original isvara.

Some members of the Pandava-family
also came to Egypt and Europe, after Dvaraka, Krishna's residence,
disappeared. The pyramids design was based on the smashana-cit-altars for the
Vedic cremation rituals. The positions of the different parts of the building
reflect the positions of the stars and the apex points to the devaloka's, the
heavenly planets. They also moved to iswara (=God) laya (=land) or Israel.
From the Essenes (worshippers of isa, Siva) came Jesus (= of Isa) Christus (=
of Krishna). Yajati's three other rebellious sons received kingdoms outside of
India. Yavana or Turvasu got Turkey, Persia etc. According to the Mahabharata
(Adi Parva 85.34) Turvasu fought for Duryodhana on the battlefield of
Kuruksetra. Anu got Greek and Italy.

Another migration of groups of
people was started by Parasurama (also a descendant of Pururava) who displaced
a branch of the Yadu's, the demonic Haihaya kings and their followers, who
settled mainly in Egypt. They became kings there. Some came to Europe and
Asia.

About 4000BC Druhyu, the fifth
son of Yayati, was banished to Europe. From Druhyu came the Druids, also
connected with the Dravids, followers of the wise (=vid) man Drastha. Some
barbarian tribes descended from him (more or less ksatriya's). They settled
themselves in France and England. Around the same time the Saxenas, a demonic
ksatriya clan, were banished from India. These were the Saxons who settled in
Western-Europe. After the battle of Kuruksetra in 3138 B.C., the worldwide
system of varnasramadharma, or the Vedic social-political system slowly
degraded.

The Vedic culture was more or
less present everywhere, but mainly in India. Civilized nations search for
nice places like the tropics to settle. Patalabhumi (the hellish or low land),
the western hemisphere, mainly the north, were avoided.

Around 2000 B.C. different groups
of Indian Indo-europeans went to the west. Also in the past groups went to the
west to teach (like a group sharmans, brahmanical scholars, later called the
Germans) and to reign (to establish the varnasramadharma-system). Or to
emigrate because the river Sarasvati was dried up. Also some were banned
because they had left the Vedic lifestyle. In 1103 B.C. the Trojans became the
Sumeric Indo-europeans (because of the increasing desert because the river
Saraswati dried up). In 800 B.C. the Kalatoya's came from the area to the
south of Kashmir. These were the Kelts. In 2000 B.C. they left India when the
river Saraswati dried up. In 1000 B.C. they arrived at the Danube (the river
which flows through the land of the Danavas or demons). The people of Alinas
(Hellenes) was one of the first grpoups to emigrate from India (to Greece).
According to the Mahabharata (Adiparva 174.38) Bhima and Sahadeva conquered
the Pulinda's (Greeks) because they had given up dharma.

In the book, Proof of Vedic
Culture's global existence, it is noted that Sanskrit is the mother of all
languages and that the name Norway is derived from the Sanskrit naraka or hel.
Soviet from sveta (white), Russia from rushis or rsi's, wise men who meditated
there. Siberia from the Sanskrit word for inhospitable, camping site.
Scandinavia from skandha, the commander in chief of the demigods. They
navigated in the name of Skandha and worshipped Skandha. The words viking and
king are from the sanskrit singh (lion). The Vikings were great white-haired
daityas. The name 'Alps' is derived from alpa (small in comparison with the
Himalaya's). At many places in Europe murti's (statues) of Krishna, Shiva (linga),
Mitra (sungod) and so on have been found.

According to the purana's, the
history-books of the Veda and the upapurana's (smaller purana's) around 11,000
B.C., there were floods, at the end of the glacial age. Thanks to their boat,
Vaivasvata Manu (Noah) and his family, were virtually the only survivors.
Following twelve great wars between the deva's (godly people) and the asura's
(godless people), the land to the east of the Caucasus was given to the deva's
and that to the west of the Caucasus was given to the asura's.

Some asura's were (under
Mayadanava, also a son of Kasyapa Muni - from Kasyapa's wife Danu) banished to
South America, Patalabhumi/loka, or the land under (and to the opposite of)
Punya-bhumi. There, Mayadanava is the engineer and the king of the Danava's.
His fixed homelad is talatala-loka (1.088.000 km to the south of the
Bhumandala) where the flying saucers are made.

The maya's, the followers of
Mayadanava, called their land Amaraka (amara = immortal, amrita=nectar).
Asura's often think that death is something that will not happen to them and
they think their mother land paradise. Later Amerigo Vespucci could recover
the name via his name America. The above shows that all present inhabitants of
the world belong to Sri Sri Radha-Krishna's gotra or family.
